Now that Bambu is off the table, which budget-friendly 3D printer would you recommend?

    Internet discussion likes to focus on features and gimmicks. As much as I detest Bambu, the print quality and reliability of the H2 series has yet to be bettered.

      Being downvoted doesn’t make you any less right.

      That being said: I won’t be buying Bamboo again myself. The H2S is awesome, but my next machine will be RatRig/Prusa (European)or maybe even Snapmaker. Still waiting to see how they hold up after some more time, and if head swappers are better or worse than toolchangers like INDX.

      1. That’s simply wrong, the most reliable (consumer) machine is probably the Prusa Core One, and the best print quality would depend on what you are printing (resin printing is nicer than most FDM but has its own set of challenges, Prusa XL can have six toolheads, single toolhead printers, etc.)

      And of course, enterprises grade machines are probably much more reliable than any consumer grade hardware

      1. This is focusing on the budget segment, which the H2 series is far outside of anyways (as is the Prusa machines). The Centauri Carbon by Elegoo is better than the A1 Mini in most metrics (larger volume, enclosed, CoreXY, more open ecosystem, etc.) for around the same price point, and the Sovol machines are quite good there as well.
